Apple has quality hardware?
[url=http://talkback.zdnet.com/5208-11408-0.html?forumID=1&threadID=46834&messageID=869968] Tell that to this poor Mac guy! [/url]

Can you please tell me why I should switch from my Windows and Linux machines that all work perfectly to a Mac that has display issues, HD mounting issues, constant kernel panics, and goes into reboot loops when you look at it sideways? Is a machine that constantly reboots itself more productive somehow? happy
